Mopay Inc. on May 25 announced a new platform for mobile payments.
The Palo Alto, Calif., unit of MindMatics AG of Munich said its technology will enable merchants to run mopay’s services on Internet-connected devices running Appel Inc.’s iOS operating system, Google Inc.’s Android, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 and Samsung Electronics Ltd.’s bada, among others.
The technology enables consumers to charge purchases of digital items and services to a mobile phone bill.
“Most mobile payments providers focus on Web purchases and in-app billing on the Android platform,” Kolja Reiss, mopay’s managing director, said in a press release. “Our brand new mobile payments platform” can be “customized for every platform, be it desktop PCs, notebooks, smartphones, tablets, TVs, game consoles, in-car entertainment systems, kiosks and even appliances.”
